Super Easy Hollandaise Sauce Stove-Free Recipe

Quick, Tangy, hassle free Hollandaise sauce does exist. No, this is not a blender or double boiler recipe and this can actually be made without a whisk…

Now, you do need to stir together some ingredients but that can be done with a fork unless you insist in using a whisk, the choice is yours. Call it mock hollandaise sauce or “Hollandaise Sauce” this recipe is what I have been looking for in a Hollandaise sauce after trying other recipes. My recipe calls for vinegar but lemon juice can be an alternative. I prefer vinegar over lemon juice as this gives a nice tart taste without a strong lemony flavor. It’s done in the microwave and tastes AMAZING! Tarty, creamy, (only two Tablespoons of) BUTTER is how I would describe this. There is no strong yolky taste and this recipe is not bland as the tartness stands out without an over powering lemon taste. This recipe can garnish about 4 poached eggs.

I have finally achieved a hollandaise sauce I enjoy and you probably can’t go wrong with this recipe because even if it curdles in the microwave a few stirs and this sauce smooths out wonderfully! A total keeper recipe in my notebook because of the taste and ease of the process! A must make if your on the hunt for a good hollandaise sauce!
